Those who come to the rescue of
the Hopkins County Exhibit Saturday
and want it to igo through the State
Fair in the proper manner were: J.
C. Stout, Ed Smith, T. G. Stephens
and J. W. Mail waring. They mads
their contribution freely and stated
they considered it their duty to do so,
and that every one elss should do the
same. _
J. O. Stoat, of the White Oak com-
munity, plaoed on exhibition one
dosen vines of peanuts that are extra
fine. They are six feet across and
buavQy loaded with nuts and weigh
fifty pounds. He also brought one
dosen ears of fine white corn that
average ten full inches and contain
11,000 large grains. He has eight
acres of this corn and is now harvest-
ing it, and it is yielding fifty basbela
per acreA He has three seres in pea-
nuts that will produce at least fifty
bushels to the sore.
Miss Sallie Bell Jones 6f Greenville,

jnst simply grand.
John Burrows, living eight miles
northwest of the city, aged 11 years,
pat on exhibition ten ears of yellow
dent corn that is nearly perfect. He
has one sere of this corn which he
has worked on the government plan,
and this corn is from that acre. He
has made no estimate as to what the
yield may be. He will enter bia corn

H. A. Rex placed on exhibition two
fine stalks of cotton. It is of the Ms-
bene variety and extra fine, and we

what can be done from the soil of
Hopkins connty.

M. H. Greer placed on exhibition

C. F. Snyder of Brasbear, put on
exhibition a bale of shredded corn
shucks and stalks, on an entirely new
plan. The corn is cntAand shocked

three weeks it is ran through a shred-
er that takes the corn off and shreds

almost equal to alfalfa.
nificent he had ever seen. He said
that a Texas eqhibit was kept in Chi-
cago, bat it did not compare with
oars. This is certainly, encouraging
to ns.
The farmers are now bringing a dis-
play of theif best corn, and this is
very encouraging to bs as we expect
to make en extra fine display at the
State Fair, and we want every one of
them to get busy and bring us ten
ears of their very best. It is now set
on the cob and when we wire it up in
the proper style it will remain in per-
fect shape.
Founder of 166 Papers.
Colonel John Harper of Leroy, 111.,
holds thd record as a founder of news-
papers-. He has started 166 in differ-
ent parts of the country, his latest
psper being the Leroy Free«Prese.
Colonel Harper is a native of Ken-
tucky and was born in Maysville, Opt
27, 1832. His father was a man of
prominence and conducted a general
store which was the' resort John
C. Breckinridge, Henry Clay, John
Marshall and other famous Blue Grass
State citizens.
The first insight of the publishing
business was received by Colonel Har-
per in a Louisville (Ky.) office, where
the famous editor, George D. Prentice,
presided. After learning the trade
Colonel Harper* went to Illinois and
began founding papers, bis first ex-
perience being at Galena.
From there he went to Mount Car-
roll and later fco Freeport. He found-
ed the Journal in the latter city, and
it is still in existence.
Daring his long career Colonel Har-
per has purchased from various type
foundries 125 new ontfits. For ten of
the outfits he paid $5,000, and for the
majority he paid between $3,000 and
$4,000, which demonstrates that type
foundries have been paid considerable
money by the veteran publisher.
“I am now seventy* eight,” said
Colonel Harvey, “or I will be if I live
to Oct. 10. I have kept an accurate
account ofmll the money I have spent
on outfits, and I don’t owe a dollar to
any one that is not properly secured.”

We will publish the names every
week of those who contribute to help
carry the big Hopkins county exhibit
through the State Fair in the proper
manner. Those who have contribut-
ed up to date are: J. P. Bauman, H.
H. Wood, J. K. Jackson, Ury Milsap,
Charles Brewer, N. E. Rasb, W. H.
Attaway and J. B. Oaffey. The above
contributors are all men of moderate
circumstances, but they want to see
and help Hopkins county take first
place in the state, and we ask every
citizen to do as they have done.
W. T. Brownridge, a traveling sales-
man out of Chicago, accompanied by
Sam Sheppard, viaited the club room
to see the big Hopkins county exhib-
it, and he declared it the most mag-
Tbe Bible.
“The following was found in a
young ladles’ bible. The statements
are so accurate and strikingly true
that they are commended to the
Times readers:
This book contains the mind of God,
the state of man, the way of salvation,
doom of sinners and happiness of be-
lievers. Its doctrines are holy; its
precepts are binding. Its histories
are true and its decisions are immu-
table. Read it to be wise, believe it
to be tafe and practice it to be holy.
It contains light to direct yon, food to
support you and comfort to cheer you.
It ia the traveler’s map, the pilgrim’s
stall, the pilots compass, the soldier’s
sword and the Christian’s character.
Here paradise is restored, Heaven
opened and the gates of hell disclosed.
Christ is its grand subject, our good
its design and the glory of God its
end. It should fill the memory, rule
the heart and guide the feet. Read it
slow, frequently, prayerfully. It is a
mine of wealth, a paradise of glory
and a river of pleasure. It is given
you in life; will be opened at the
judgement and be remembered for-
ever. It involves the highest re-
sponsibility, rewards the greatest
labor and condemns all who trifle
with its holy contents.”—Collinsville
Times.
Publicity Aids Reform.
The “muck-raking” magazines are
doing great service for the country in
exposing Jobberies, thefts, stealings,
bribary, bribe-taking, vote-buying,
corruption, boodling, black-horse ex-
actions and other inquities of “high
finfngp” and high politics. It is true
that exposures cause honest citizens
to lose confidence in some “high”
people; bat without exposure there
can be no correction of evils. The
parties “exposed” answer generally
by declaring that the magazines lie,
and deny the statements. Of great
significance is the fact tha^ while the
magazines; are posessed of great
wealth, the fellows exposed dare not
to sue for damages. This would give
the magazines chance to prove in
court the villainies charged, and this
is not wanted.—Farm and Ranch.
Advertising has become such a fac-
tor in the affairs of the world that
even the churches recognize its value.
A preacher at Spokane, Wash., at-
tributes bis success to the liberal use
of printers’ ink. Commenting on the
value of education he says: “The
church that does not advertise is be-
hind the times and is nursing empty
pews, and he who rails against the
minister for advertising is suffering
for a congregation. I am not an ad-
vocate of ragtime methods and vulgar
preaching, but I do plead for the
church which is a humming plant of
machinery, with live coals in the fire
box, smoke curling from the stack,
and every belt, wheel and pulley go-
ing. I believe, too that people need
instruction, and that a minister of the
gospel is first, last and all the time a
teacher. There must be life.”—Ex.
With a population of 96,614, San
Antonio safely leads the State. Four

NEW DIVISIONS AT FAIR.
& Searls
Does Not Blame Them.
Hie citizens of McGregor are nob
tq be blamed for their action in hang-
ing Judge Davidson in effigy; There
hes been man? a real hanging on far
less1 provocation. One of the best
aqd utifbsfc enterprising of McGregor’s
dozens was shot dead in j?is bed, and
fche murderer afc once became the
petted ward of the law—the law which
ought to be inexorable and just. The
murdered man rotting in the gronnd,
the murderer on down pillows in se-
lect quarters of a jail and fed on the
best that attention can furnish. The
murdered man lost forever to his
children and his town he loved so
well; the marderer safe in the tech-
nical and long-drawn meshes of the
law which is the murderer’s friend.
The citizens of McGregor knew that
the granting of bail to Mrs. Streight
was the first step toward her ultimate
release. It is always so in Texas, be
it said to her eternal shame. A little
money and a good lawyer can save
ady murderer from his just deserts,
unless the murderer be a negro. The
Chief does not believe Judge David
son acted otherwise than according
to his conception of law and justice,
^oLwould like to see the time arrive
when killers will be put to a little in-
convenience and tne judges of the
l%w will not shed tears over ,the kill-
er’s plight.—Comenche Chief.
It is asserted that unless certain
differences can be settled in Berlin
within the next few days, 700,000
workmen will be out of employment.
Extraordinary Display of Livestock and
Farm Products Assured.
Dallas, Tex.—It is a mistaken but
common impression that to see a State
Fair once is to see it for all the yean?
to comes But to guard against this
the management of the State Fair of
Texas for its twenty-fifth annual
meeting, October 15-30, strives each
year to have something new and inter
esting to the consistent patron. It is a
well known fact that the management
has been wonderfully successful along
these lines during the last five years.
For each exposition the visitors have
had an opportunity to inspect new
buildings and new exhibits. Such will
be the case this year. The manage-
ment is expending nearly $175,000 in
permanent improvements.
Agriculturalists of the Southwest
will find many features of interest at
the twenty-fifth annual meeting of the
State Fqir of Texas, which begins at
Dallas, 6ctober 15, and continues six-
teen days. The most interesting, how-
ever, will be the model cotton farm,
which will be found in the infield of
the race track. A ten-acre cotton
field, besides several acres in chufas,
will be, without a doubt, the center
of interest for the agriculturalists who
visit the Fair.
President E. J. Kiest of the Fair, in
order to demonstrate to the farmers of
the Southwest the practicability of cot-
ton picking machines, decided upon
adding a model cotton farm to the
Fair. In this cotton field will be dem-
onstrated during the twenty-fifth an-
nual meeting cotton picking machines
in operation.
The farm will be conducted in con-
nection with the Cotton Division
which will he under the direction of D.
A. Saunders of the United States De-
partment of Agriculture. Rich pre-
miums insure a splendid exhibition in
this divson.
* ■ t
Fifty-Two Counties.
Fifty-two counties will be represent-
ed in the agricultural department of
the Fair this year. The exhibition will
be varied, ranging from that of a trop-
ical nature to one of the temperate
zone. Every section of the state wiF
be represented. Rice, cotton, citrus
fruits, corn, wheat, oats, oranges and
peafches, apples and pears but demon-
strate the range of this exhibition.
Grasses of all kindws, vegetables ga-
lore, the farm, orchard and garden
products of the tropics and temperate
zone will be displayed.
With the erection qf the Industrial
Arts building and the Dairy building,
a great deal of additional room was
added to the agricultural department.
Agricultural Hall this year will be es-
sentially what the name implies. Fif
ty-two exhibition booths have already
been secured by as many counties of
the state. Prom the standpoint of
quality it will be superior and more
varied than any exhibition of the kind
in the Unite1 States. No other Stat1-
Fair has an opportunity of displaying
both tropical and temperate zone pro-
ducts, and lhe management of the
State Fair, appreciatig this, has secur
ed an agricultural Exhibition so diver
sifted that it will even astonish the
native sons of the Lone Star State.
Boys’ Corn Club.
In the agricultural and in kindred
divisions this year the premiums will
exceed $5000. In the Boys’ Com Club
contest alone $1200 in premiums will
be awarded. The United State Depart-
ment of Agriculture inaugurated the
Boys’ Com Club movement throughout
the state of Texas. The State- Fair
management, assisting the Federal
government, has designated a special
day during the Fair as Boys’ Corr
Club day. The Bankers’ Association
of Texas bai offered a special purse
in addition to the State Fainpremiums
This money is divided into prizes
ranging from $3 to $50. The contest
will be open to all boys under twenty
years of age, who are members of
country corn clubs. A meeting of the
State Boys’ Cora Club will be held at
tne Fair on Boysf Corn Club day.
The sweenstakes in the county ex
hibit division of the farm and mill dl

est display of agricultural, manufar

MAN’S WILL POWER.
Bismarck’s Comment on Schopenhauer
and His Theory.
In an entertaining account of a din-
ner party at Prince Bismarck’s Berlin
residence which is given in the recol-
lections of the Livonian journalist Eck-
hardt the following, which was a part
of the table talk, shows the host in a
new light: The conversation had turn-
ed on Bismarck’s early days at Frank-
fort. and Eckhardt asked whether at
the table d’bote of the Hotel d’Angle-
terre bis host had ever met Schopen-
hauer. “Ido." said Bismarck; “he had
no use for me nor I for him. More-
over. I have never had time or desire-
to occupy myself with philosophy.
While I was a student Schopenhauer
was still unknown. I know absolute-
ly nothing about his system.’’
Another guest, an admirer of Scho-
penhauer, then joined enthusiastically
in the conversation and explained tfefat
the philosopher’s great merit consisted
in the discovery of the fact that will
|>ower was the indestructible essence
of the mind of man and that intelli-
gence was only of secondary impor-
tance. “That may very well be true.’r
said Prince Bismarck, “at least as far
as I am concerned, for I have often
noticed that my will had already come
to a decision while my mind had not
yet finished thinking about the same
subject”
VENETIAN WOMEN. i
Th# Whims of Fashion Hold No Tar-
rors For Thom.
The women of Venice are absolutely
free from the rule which Dame Fash-
ion exercises over their sisters else-
where. They care nothing for modes,.
With them the length of the skirt re-
mains always the same, neither short
nor long, and they always wear plainly
made dark dresses, black stockings and
the heelless slippers of the east Hate
are unknown.
The universal outdoor wrap for ail
ages and all sizes is the black shawl,
with a deep silken fringe. It is folded
with a short point above and a long
one below, and sometimes It envelopes*
the figure from head to foot It is nev-
er fastened at the throat, and when it
slips off it is gathered up with o^e out-
stretched arm. which makes the spec-
tator think of a big bird stretching its
wing.
In their attire the women of Venice-
are independent only wearing local
clothing, but with feminine inconsist-
ency they are thoroughly up to date-
in the matter of hairdressing, the style
of their coiffures changing from time
to time, according to the vogue of the
moment in London and Paris.
Identified.
William M. Chase, the artist, was m
picturesque figure, dressing in clothes
that had a certain originality, though
they conformed more or less to the
prevailing fashions. On one occasion
Chase on his way home stepped into-
a little wine shop and ordered a jug
of claret of a special brand sent to bis-
house. The lad who bt ought It came
to the front door an hour afterward,
when the artist had already arrived.
“Some wine.” he said curtly. The
maid, knowing there was yet plenty in-
the cellar and believing the lad had
made a mistake, said she was sure it
was not for that house and did the
bey remember the name of the man
who ordered it. The boy didift.
“Then,” said the servant, “you’ve
come to the wrong place; we never
ordered wine!” At this moment the
boy spied Chase’s famous hat on the
hall table. “Say,” he asked, “does
that hat live here?” “Yes.” said the
amused maid. “Then,” said the boy
triumphantly, “here’s where the wine
belongs!”—Argonaut
Not For Fashion’s Saks.
The criminal law of England was
formerly marked by in discriminating
severity. Theft of an article valued
above 10 shillings was punished with*
death. In writing about “Sweet
Hampstead and Its Associations” Mrs.
White records a pleasant thing of Lord
Mansfield, who. as a rule, leaned to
the side of mercy. It was Lord Mans-
field who directed a jury to find a
stolen trinket less in value than Id
shillings in order that the thief might
escape capital punishment. To this
the jeweler who prosecuted demurred,
asserting that the fashion of the thing
had cost him twice that money.
“Gentlemen.” replied the judge, with
grave solemnity, “we ourselves stand
in need of mercy. Let us not hang a
man for the fashion’s sake!”
MacMahon’s Epigram.
When Marshal MacMahon in the
Crimea!? campaign took the Malakoff
by storm and wrote his celebrated dis-
patch, "J’y suis; J’y reste" (“Here £
am; here I stay”), these words made
him famous ail over the , world. let
his friends said that the worthy sol-
dier bad written them in the most
matter of fact manner, with no
thought of phrase making. The most
surprised person over the success of
this epigram was MacMahon himself.
Helping Her Out.
“Have you a young chicken? I am
rather green at cooking.”
“Such being the case, madam, don’t
you think you'd better have an old.
experienced fowl?”—Louisville Courier-
Journal.
